Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1263 - 1143: Some Rejoice, Some Worry

This one cup of liquor was consumed, and at least half of the civil and military officials were knocked down.

In other words, out of these 1000 people, at least 500 were sprawled on the tables.

And this isn’t the end, among the remaining 500 people, there are at least 200 who are already dizzy, just one more push and they’ll be lying on the ground.

Of course, even the rest are not doing much better, with this one cup of liquor, the best they could manage was a flushed face and somewhat glazed eyes.

There’s no helping it, this liquor is just too strong, how could these ancients, who are accustomed to low-alcohol beverages, not be instantly floored by such strong liquor?

Even though a large group was knocked down instantly, those who remained sober wore expressions of excitement, as if this was heavenly wine.

If it wasn’t heavenly wine, why would it have such a rich and mellow flavor?

Furthermore, with a quick glance at all the people sprawled on the tables, it further confirms the suspicion that this must be true.

After all, not everyone can handle heavenly wine.

Hence, those who weren’t much affected by the wine became more excited.

They felt unique, as if drinking Immortal Wine and not being knocked down suggested they were extraordinary.

Lin Yi, watching this scene from above, felt both helpless and surprised. He genuinely hadn’t anticipated this; otherwise, he would never have gone along with it.

A banquet that was going well was overturned by just one cup of wine; it all seemed rather ridiculous and amusing.

Especially those fellows who were just drooling over the delicacies in front of them, yet now, after a cup of liquor, the delicacies were no longer of any concern to them.

The palace maids and eunuchs were startled upon witnessing this scene, their first reaction was whether there was something wrong with the wine, whether it had been tampered with.

Their second reaction was worry because His Majesty had also just consumed the wine; could it be that His Majesty was poisoned too?

But soon, their worry vanished, as His Majesty didn’t show any adverse reaction like the others, plus His Majesty’s identity as an Immortal was well known, how could an Immortal be poisoned by mere wine?

Furthermore, as they looked at the glass in front of Lin Yi, they sighed with relief because although some wine was missing, more than half remained.

Which meant Lin Yi hadn’t downed it all, bringing them a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment when they saw the reactions, the remaining officials were overjoyed, and some couldn’t help but commend such fine wine.

Seeing Lin Yi’s calm expression also made them relax and seemingly reminded them of something.

They remembered that all the wine used here was personally provided by His Majesty, even if it contained poison, it would’ve been His Majesty’s decision, something the eunuchs and palace maids dared not intervene with.

Hence, they silently chose to step aside, standing by quietly as the crowd lay sprawled around.

The rest eagerly devoured the dishes in front of them.

"Ahem, it seems I was indeed careless, neglecting the drinking capacity of all my esteemed ministers, forgetting that this wine is Immortal Wine I brought down from heaven. Hence, its potency is understandably overwhelming for some."

Saying this, Lin Yi paused before turning to the palace maids and eunuchs beside him, instructing:

"Go fetch some hangover soup for the ministers, help them rest. Serve them well, and ensure nothing goes wrong."

Upon receiving Lin Yi’s orders, they stepped forward immediately, beginning to help the ministers who had collapsed on the tables.

To Lin Yi’s surprise, when the palace maids and eunuchs went to support the drunken officials, they found that the officials held tightly onto their glass cups.

They showed no intention of letting go, even though they were too drunk to remain conscious, clutching the glass as if afraid someone would snatch it away.

Seeing this, Lin Yi could only shake his head helplessly, and the palace eunuchs shared in this sentiment, finally understanding the thrifty nature of these officials.

Who would have thought that these high-ranking officials, once inebriated, would still hold so tightly to a single glass cup?
